Can you briefly explain what it is?
It's a view of the Sage documentation (reference manual, etc.) which is displayed like a worksheet, allowing you to manually execute code examples (doctests) and play with them. You can find it by the rather roundabout way of opening the Sage notebook, clicking "Help" at the top of the screen, and then clicking one of the unassuming-looking rectangular buttons near the top of the page (such as "Reference Manual" or "Tutorial"). Honestly I never would have found that unless someone had pointed it out to me at a Sage Days, since I would never think to click those buttons under the Help page in the notebook -- I had just assumed they were the same static documentation as elsewhere. I guess it's more discoverable to a user whose first exposure to Sage was via sagenb.org, but for me, before I ever used the notebook I had installed Sage from source and read bits of the tutorial at http://sagemath.org/doc while doing so, so that's where I would instinctively go if I wanted to look up anything. That, or my local copy of the built HTML docs. -Keshav -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
